A special version of Waking Fantasy aged in Bourbon, Rum and Carcavelos barrels.
The jet-black beer aroma reveals tonka bean vanilla and cinnamon, burnt sugar and velvety berry notes. The flavor is full-bodied and powerful, with layers of chocolate, coffee, bourbon toffee, mild vanilla and rum-soaked plums. A rich and flavor-packed imperial stout, full of depth and complexity.

Near opaque and oily looking dark brown beer, small dark tan head, doesn't last long. Nose is boozy fruitcake and bitter chocolate. Smooth palate, slightly viscous, decent fine carbonation. Boozy fruit cake is front and centre here with a good lashing of dark chocolate liqueur that is not all sweet. Back end brings some rum and very rich dried fruits and pruney datey fruits. Smooth finish leaves a mildly warning linger. Rich and well layered and very very tasty.

Sweetish, roasty and heavy with woody notes, some rum, oak and cocoa. A bit heavy.
